Most common calculators in the forum?

[Fred Lusk]

Here is my modest collection, one of each:

HP-35........A hand-me-down from my dad when he bought an HP-45 in 1974.
HP-55........My first calculator purchase, spring 1976, two months before I
................graduated from high school. BTW, I was the first person in my high
................school with a programmable calculator (nerds rule). And, no, a
................calculator on the belt is NOT a chick magnet. :-)
HP-34C......Purchased in 1979, in college (civil engineering), specifically for the
................SOLVE and INTEGRATE functions and because I couldn't afford the
................HP-41C. This is my only non-op HP.
HP-41C......My dad wasn't using this anymore, so he gave it to me about
................20 years ago.
HP-41CX....I had sold my HP-41CV with Time Module and X-Functions to fund
................this purchase.
HP-42S......This wonderful machine has been my daily driver since 1988. 'Nuf said.
HP-48G+...This is a well-built powerhouse, but I am far more comfortable with
................standard RPN than RPL. I also had an HP-48G on loan to my son,
................but it was stolen out of his car. I bought each one new for $25
................because the local office supply store was clearing inventory.
HP-32SII...Another $25 inventory clearance purchase.
HP-10B......I this won in a contest here years ago. This is my only algebraic-only
................calc and my only business calc. Where are the trig function???
HP-35S......I bought this for no particular reason. It sits on my desk at home
................for quick number crunching.
HP-50G......Another purchase for no particular reason. The screen is much nicer
................than all my other calcs, the keyboard feel is OK, but the layout is bad.
................ENTER needs to be where God intended and HP implemented for years,
................which would also allow putting +-x/ in line with the numeric keypad,
................where they belong and not shifted up one row. This one also sits on
................my desk at home for tasks the HP-35S can't handle.
